Super Durable Titanium Dioxide TIPAQUE PFC105
Enabling Long-Term Appearance Retention in Exterior Coatings
Super Durable Titanium Dioxide TIPAQUE PFC105
Enabling Long-Term Appearance Retention in Exterior Coatings
A super durable titanium dioxide designed to suppress photocatalytic degradation and extend coating lifetime.
MARKET CHALLENGES
Exterior Coatings Face Increasing Durability Demands
- Longer warranty requirements (e.g. AAMA 2605)
- Higher UV exposure and harsher environments
- Demand for long-term gloss and color retention
- Reduced repainting and maintenance cycles
Exterior coatings are expected to maintain appearance longer than ever before.
Why Use PFC105
Functional Benefits of PFC105
- Suppresses photocatalytic degradation
- Maintains appearance under extended exposure
- Supports premium exterior formulations
- Compatible with existing coating systems
- Contributes to development of AAMA 2605–compliant products
- Keep gloss retention more than 50% longer than competitor.
PFC105 enables durability control at the pigment level, allowing coating designs where titanium dioxide no longer limits long-term performance. This data is based on our research.
Key Applications
Architectural exterior coatings
Industrial & protective coatings
Outdoor equipment & infrastructure coating
Powder Coatings
PERFORMANCE DATA
Weathering Data from Natural Exposure in FL
PFC105 can keep gloss retention more than 50% longer than competitor.
*PVDF Coating (P/B = 0.56, Film Thickness = 30μm)
Color Fading Resistance at Super Accelerated Exposure Test*
* Super Accelerated Exposure Test= ISK’s proprietary durability evaluation method designed to rapidly assess the photocatalytic durability of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) in coating systems.
* PVDF/Acrylic = 20/80
PFC105 can eliminate color fading issue even in organic colorants.
Why PFC105 Delivers Superior Weatherability
Conventional TiO₂
Dense SiO₂ layer
Thin SiO₂ layer
O₂H radical Photocatalytic activity
Uneven and thinner layer allows TiO₂ to get in contact with air, triggering photocatalytic activity.
Causes resin degradation

The Correct Test Methods to Evaluate TiO₂ Durability
Conventional weathering tests such as QUV and XWOM primarily assess resin durability and may not fully capture performance differences related to TiO₂ photocatalytic activity. Because PFC105 is designed to suppress this mechanism, its true benefit is best evaluated using test methods that specifically target TiO₂-driven degradation.
Learn how ISK’s proprietary Super Accelerated Exposure Test helps reveal the durability advantage of PFC105.
